If you purchased just one of these from a foundry like LinoType, it would cost you no less that $600-$1000 per font family. My preferred screen font is Frutiger Next LT for its readability anywhere on screen to large airport signs. These are excellent!

I guess Microsoft is using it as a deterrent not to get too attached to the alpha build of Longhorn (4074). Anyway, I like the new font.

I use the Latin script transliteration characters in the 0100-01FF and 1E00-1EFF ranges that thankfully are included in Tahoma. It would be great to have these in a full range of type face styles.

These ranges are being filled out in Times New Roman and Arial and our UI fonts for Longhorn. They're not in the C-fonts, at least not yet.
